OREM,
Utah, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Agilix
Labs, Inc. ("Agilix") is announcing the availability of free
one-year Buzz LMS license and support agreements to all other
schools located in school districts with at least one school
currently using the Echo platform from New Tech Network (NTN).
Agilix Labs, Inc. and New Tech Network have been partners since
2016 when a customized version of Buzz was utilized to create the
Echo LMS, a learning platform offered to all schools and districts
who are members of the New Tech Network of elementary, middle, and
high schools in the United States.
Echo has enabled hundreds of schools to implement NTN's school
model with fidelity and efficacy.
Free Agilix Buzz LMS Offer for New Tech
Network School Districts
The Agilix Buzz LMS and the Echo instance are flexible platforms
that support a wide variety of learning models, pedagogies, and
curricula. In addition to supporting project-based learning, Buzz
is also compatible with traditional classroom instruction, blended
learning, competency / mastery-based learning, virtual learning,
and other models.
By providing Buzz for free to all the other schools in school
districts using Echo for PBL, Agilix hopes to provide school
districts with a unified learning platform that supports all
district learning models through a single platform. Current Echo
users will continue to work within the Echo platform.
Buzz provides the flexibility for administrators and teachers to
mix and match learning modalities that are ideal for each of their
student populations – while simplifying and streamlining
district-wide teacher professional development, coaching and
support, and system administration, management, and reporting.
Buzz can be configured, customized, and integrated to meet
specific school district needs. In addition to built-in content
authoring tools, Agilix also has many K-12 curriculum partners who
provide online curriculum in the Buzz Platform. These partners
include Accelerate Education, Bright Thinker, BYU-Independent
Study, FlexPoint, Lincoln Learning, Pearson, and many others.
For those school districts who want to consider the ways Buzz
can improve their instructional practices, this opportunity affords
them a direct path to support improved student learning outcomes.
Agilix and NTN will continue to work closely as this offer does not
impact or change any aspect of how NTN utilizes Echo to support
educators and students with implementing NTN's school model and the
wide range of professional development, instructional coaching, and
other professional services provided by NTN.
School district administrators who are interested in taking
advantage of the free Buzz License agreement for the 2024-25 school
year may visit Agilix.com/echo or contact Agiilx at
sales@agilix.com.
